In what is one the most imaginative and innovative structures for a book on the transition from text to interpretation, Translating the New Testament: Text, Translation, Theology is a fascinating account of the methodological journey of one biblical text, Luke 16.19-31, through the interpretive process. Divided into three sections (Text, Translation, Theology) the book provides, for each section, a chapter on discipline specific methodological principles, and then follows it by applying those same principals to Luke 16.19-31. Each scholar argues for their own position where necessary, and articulates their thought in such a way as to interpret the text. The result is an exegetical treatment of the text by some of the brightest NT scholars in the world.

Stanley E. Porter is president, dean, and professor of New Testament at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario. He is the author of several books on the New Testament, including Paul in Acts and The Criteria for Authenticity in Historical-Jesus Research and the editor of more than forty other books.

Mark J. Boda is professor of Old Testament at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario. He has authored six books, edited seven volumes of collected essays, and written over 50 articles on various topics related to the Old Testament and Christian theology.

Editors Stanley E. Porter and Mark J. Boda here bring together a group of respected theologians to provide an up-to-date assessment of translation of the New Testament in terms of textual criticism, translation theory, and theology. Advocates of different positions note the translational implications that follow from a choice of a particular textual tradition or type over another. Because each section contains these varying perspectives, this volume shows both theoretical diversity and concrete differences in the practice of translation.
